Was this made into a movie?

Jennifer Ashley Sadly no, not yet. Any producer can talk to me, though. :-)

I found this on a “virgin-hero” shelf. But as I listen that doesn’t seem to be the case. I think I heard him mention at the beginning he has had sex before. Later he says he has never had sex “with a lady” and he doesn’t know what the rules are. So by my math this means he has visited prostitutes or lower class women but she is his first “lady”. Am I correct?

Lady E At 17 he began a 2-year liaison with a maid (chapter 21) and it is implied that he had been with courtesans, so definitely not a virgin hero.

once again on a list of witty titles, all reviews are great sex and angst. can anyone PLEASE supply a word of wit or banter that places it here? so frustrating, is the word wit to difficult to understand?

The heroine in particular lightens things up with her wit on occasion. Most books in this genre, at least the well written ones, use a bit of wit to keep things from getting too dark. I don’t think angsty is a defining characteristic of the novel either, though again it is there. Sexy definitely is. The lists are just someone’s opinion of what fits. Presumably whoever added this book was struck by Beth’s wit, and that is valid, even if it’s not something that stood out to most reviewers. (less)
